WOW, that’s a lot of water wells! 💧
Chris Baca breaks down the rules on the new seller’s water disclosure, and showing the official Texas map of permitted water wells.
Here’s the legal reality check: Do not assume your seller is in the clear just because their property doesn’t pop up on the map. Undocumented and unpermitted wells exist all over Texas.
Why does this matter so much? Because if a known well isn’t properly disclosed, you aren't just looking awkward, you are handing the buyer a legal hook to walk away from the deal during the pending contract period long after the option fee is gone.
Experience is key here. And, if you want to close with an experienced team, close with Capital Title.
